Hi y’all. I’ve recently started looking at getting back into running Linux again as a main OS. With Proton and Steam all my gaming works fine. And with so many web apps those are all cross-platform anyways.

However the one application which I have not yet found a good alternative for is Adobe Lightroom. I’ve found Lightroom to be simply the best experience for managing a large (100k+) catalog of photos. I’ve really tried to get into using Darktable but while it can do a lot, I’ve found the UX to be incredibly bad and painful to use.

Is there a photo workflow app which is relatively simple, efficient and easily usable that lets me manage my photo library, can do some basic editing (levels, crop, etc.) and runs on Linux? Thanks.

    Same here. DigiKam and darktable.

    Getting color balance with raw in darktable took quite a while for us. It was helped by using a Color Checker Passport in a few shooting conditions to use for reference and calibration. Once we got past that darktable has been great.
